Was a line cook at a Mexican place back in college and have been making these things ever since. Very easy to make, and the components are very interchangeable.

Clean Carrot Muffins
These carrot muffins come out fluffy and smell amazing. The riper the banana, the sweeter these will be. I've also made them using grated apples. Love how it's all done in a blender.
